Montjuich Park is a possible track for next season's Works and Privateers series. However some leagues have had problems running it in the past, either with disco's or the graphics being too intensive for some drivers' PCs. Some work has been done since then to solve these issues so I'm running this race as a test.

The track can be downloaded here http://montjuich.speedgeezers.net/download.html. PLEASE NOTE there are four different versions, unless you have a powerful PC I strongly suggest you install the LITE version. Guidance from SRMZ says "The STANDARD version should work on systems with a CPU higher than 3Ghz and a medium range graphics card with 256Mb of RAM. If your system has a lower spec than above, we recommend using the LITE version."

If you are still experiencing problems then some drivers have found turning off crowd and trees helps the most, whereas lowering the resolution does not. But you may have to experiment to find something that works best for you.

In any case this is one of the most beautiful and challenging tracks that GPL has to offer, so please join us for this event.

Ross,I tried out the track off line. There was a drop in frame rates at one point but nothing major.Might be me but there doesn't seem to be the usual level of grip & the car slides more than normal.Best lap is a 1.40 which feels slow.Ignoring my lack of skill - its a great track.

Bernie have you had any problems with this track in offline practice? It's been OK for me so far.

None whatsoever , except from driving it that is , its tricky to drive , some parts look faster than they really are , due I think to gradients and cambers being negative in places . What a buzz it must have been in RL

I had 30mins free time allocated by the boss so I thought I would do a few laps around this new track before tonight's race. Hmmm, so what is a good lap time?? I know, I will look at the GPLRank fastest lap times database for 67 F1 cars around Montjuich ....simples

1:22!!!!!!!!!! and the Honda is faster than the Lotus?!! you cannot be serious!!!

There's something fishy about that chap's WR times Clive... the 2nd best/nearest times are 8-10 seconds slower for every chassis. So I imagine a piffling 1:30 would be perfectly acceptable
